Hiri looked around and saw Astarielle sitting at the bar, sipping her drink and looking quite alone. Walking over, she sat down next to her and ordered another ale. Astarielle turned her head and looked at Hiri, then smiled. "Hullo there! I thought that you had abandoned me."
Embarassed, Hiri hung her head. "I am really most sorry. But please, do not leave. I am planning to spend a night at the inn, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to tomorrow. Will you stay?"
